Q

What does disk cleanup do?

A

Disk Cleanup - Free up disk space for files that are no long of any use and then removes them

Defragmenter - Rearrange files on a disk to occupy continuous storage space

Files can get moved around to different parts of the disk which slows it down because the disk has to bump around to figure out what you need. This puts it nice in a a line so it’s a quick scan.

18
Q

Clean up P:\

Defragment P:\

A

File explorer > right click drive > properties > disk cleanup

Search > defragment and optimize drives
Analyze = find out if drives need to be optimized

Optimize - this will do it, but it will slow down your server, do this at night when people aren’t using it a lot.

Redundant array of independent disks

Raid0 striping - fast, round robin data going to both.

Raid 10 - 1 and 0
